If I know anything, I know that summer coming means I get to spend afternoons outside in my hammock reading. I live where there is snow. Real snow. Long, Canadian, winter, snow. So for me, summer reading starts as soon as the snow melts. Luckily that time has come, and I’ve decided to share some…

Okay, so… WOW! I was completely enthralled by Smith’s THE ROAD TO WINTER almost from the first page. The gritty feel of the world he created is palpable. Recently, I have been super into Australian YA, and if you haven’t yet been introduced, now is the time – start with this one. Finn is a…

The Truth About Happily Ever After is kind of a hard one for me. I loved Cozzo’s previous book How To Keep Rolling After A Fall – LOVED, sooo much. But, I struggled with the main character in this one. Here, we meet Alyssa, and honestly I didn’t find her super likeable at first. She…

You know that feeling you get when you start a new series, and you know it will be one you wish you could read again for the first time? Everlife by Gena Showalter will be a series like that for me. The world in this series is so richly drawn, I felt the struggles of…

I barely had to finish the first sentence before I was in. The late 90’s film YOU’VE GOT MAIL, is a clever example of how important and deep falling in love with someone’s mind is. This book sounds romantic, fun, and above all uplifting. I am constantly on the lookout for new authors, and contemporary…

Okay. Seriously. How good does this book sound??? Not only is HUNTED a retelling of my all time favorite fairy tale – it’s written by one of my fave authors, Meagan Spooner! Spooner has been a apart of the team that has brought me (and, I suppose us) the STARBOUND series. To say I’m excited…

Okay, basically why wouldn’t I be waiting on this one? It has all my favorite things: dual point of view, romance, I imagine some humor. I love books like this, clearly feel good – and often just what I need. Reading the synopsis of #famous seems very indicative of today’s society. We are all on…

I feel like I’m constantly waiting on the next book from Katie McGarry. And as we head into Fall 2016, suddenly January 2017 doesn’t seem that far away for “Long Way Home.” Starting from her first book “Pushing the Limits,” McGarry has been a must read, and an auto-buy for me. I love her style…

I was in the mood for a little suspense and had THE KILLER IN ME on my TBR list for a while. Finally published, I picked this one up and didn’t really want to put it down. It starts off very strong setting up Nina Barrows, and the unusual tie she seems to have to…

Every so often I add a random book to my “to be read” shelf on Goodreads based on nothing but a cover. The for Everyone We’ve Been cover caught my attention straightaway, and I’m glad it did. The synopsis sounds absolutely intriguing, and unlike so many books I come across on my hunt for a…
